Activities & Attractions

Re-discover the Icefields Parkway, one of Canada’s top treasures and the highlight of any Canadian Rockies itinerary. The Parkway follows the spine of this majestic mountain range that forms the Continental Divide. Passing through the heart of Banff and Jasper National Parks, you’ll be treated to a kaleidoscope of pristine mountain lakes, sparkling glaciers and tumbling waterfalls. Broad, sweeping glaciated valleys and green forests decorate the landscape and the wildlife inhabitants enjoy the complete protection of a national park. Grizzlies, black bears, moose, elk, deer, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, golden eagles, wolves and cougars are but a few of the wildlife population along the Parkway.
